Favorite Kiss Lp and Why ?

Hey, its ok to feel that way.
Thats what critics have been saying for years.
There are lots of technically skilled musicians that write thought provoking lyrics who grew up listening to them.

 

Debut, it's filled with great tunes (I grew up with the first press lp, without that lame add on Kissin' Time).

 

When I was 13 I caught kiss on The Midnight Special

So I guess the first album

I was enthralled even though I had found Zeppelin and Bowie the year before. Three albums, two Halloweens and I was done. Kiss Alive was the breakout for most kids in Michigan, never cared for it.

Started listening to Genesis, Roxy Music, Yes, Tull, etc

 

Is the original LP a different mix ?
I've only heard with Kissin' Time in various audio formats.

 

Strange Ways is my favorite Peter on vocals song of all time !!!
One of my favorite Ace written songs.
Going Blind, All The Way and Parasite are my favorites from this LP.

 

"Alive!" is one of the most exciting live rock albums ever! Words aren't enough to describe what I felt the first time I heard it.

 

Hotter Than Hell.

 

This is the album that influenced me to pick up the first three studio albums.
Summer of 1985 !!!

 

none of them, I can't stand that band

actually there is ONE song I like...funky groove, long melodic guitar solo. not sure what it's called though.

 

Dark Light from The Elder ?

 

'ALIVE!' for me. How can anyone with a pulse not rock out to that record!?!

 

No. Choose your favorite KISS album. If you like no album by KISS, consult with your family doctor about a course of treatment for rectifying a condition of failing or completely depleted levels of testosterone.

 

I have odd taste when it comes to KISS...Love the first two albums, the rest of the 70s ones are meh (except Destroyer which has been way overplayed), Elder/Creatures/Lick It Up are excellent, the rest of the 80s albums are bad, Revenge is good, and Carnival of Souls is probably my favourite. (oh and Sonic Boom is decent, but Monster is meh).

 

Long time Kiss fan and for those who say none, why even read the topic? Dude says "No substance". WTF does that mean? That they aren't writing songs about saving the rain forest? Saving the giant panda? Or hell, saving private Ryan for all it matters. Haters gonna hate though and have to spread their hatred as much as possible. That being said I'll get on with the program.

Favorite Album by the Hottest Band In The World-Jesus this is hard. So many really great albums, everyone of them having great tunes on them, although none about global warming, so sad.

So I'll go with DESTROYER. Although I cannot stand "Beth", the rest of the songs are A plus. "King of the nighttime world", Flaming Youth, Do You Love Me, God Of Thunder, Shout It Out Loud, all classic tunes that will be forever embedded into the fabric of my being.

 

C'mon, man, please knock off the threadcrapping. This is against forum rules. Feel free to start your own thread about why you hate the band.

 

Dressed to Kill for me as well. In a way it feels like a British Invasion album. The songs are all great. The whole album feels like a party. And apparently it was!

 

'Destroyer'. Kind of ties in with another thread buzzing around here lately about preconceptions. I was aware of Kiss and told a mate they looked rubbish and that they were simply (belatedly) ripping off our Glam movement and Alice Cooper. Many months later he came round to my place with something to play me and wouldn't say what it was. After establishing I liked it, he drew the lp sleeve out from behind the settee. 'Destroyer' was the beast in question. I was wrong and he was right. Now the only thing we argue about is which Kiss solo album is best. (I go for Peter Criss' because at least he had the bollocks to try something a little different).

 

I concur.

 

That was the one that turned me into a fan, one look at the cover then dropping the needle on Deuce = game over, it turned my world upside down.

 

Being born in '68 I was the prime age in the mid seventies to be a Kiss fanatic. The first album I heard thru an older neighbor was Rock n Roll Over. Still my favorite, Calling Dr. Love,Mr.Speed,I Want You and Baby Driver are all great tunes.
I still get a nice nostalgic feeling spinning any of the albums up to Creatures, so many childhood memories connected to Kiss!

 

I'm going to take a guess and say your mate likes Ace Frehley's solo album the best.

 

Hotter Than Hell...no covers no ballads cool cover art and a dark mysterious sound!

 

I gotta say 'CREATURES OF THE NIGHT'. I did enjoy 'THE ELDER' at the time of it's release, but when Creatures came out, I'll I could think was "They're back"!!

 

Nope, Paul's.

 

Creatures Of The Night is my favorite album from the 80's. The Elder is a close second.
